Abstract:
Described herein are methods, systems, and apparatus to process video images to remove jitteriness due to hand shake. In one aspect, a camera is configured to capture raw video composed of a series of successive image frames of a scene of interest. A processor is configured to receive the image frames, estimate a global camera motion from successive frames, stabilize the camera motion by establishing an upper bound and a lower bound of the global camera motion and smoothing the curve of camera motion between the upper and lower bounds, and upsample the resulting stabilized video frames to produce a smooth video.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media determine a transmission rate. In some aspects, a method includes determining, via an electronic device, an amount of data buffered in a network, determining a sustainable throughput of the network; and determining a transmission rate based at least in part on the sustainable throughput and the amount of data buffered.

Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, and computer readable media may adjust an encoding rate based on network conditions between a transmitter and a receiver. Either the transmitter, receiver, or both the transmitter and receiver may determine the encoding rate. In one aspect, a ratio of received network data to transmitted network data is determined. An encoding parameter is then determined based on the determined ratio. In one aspect, the encoding parameter may be used to adjust an encoder. In another aspect, the determined encoding parameter may be transmitted to an encoding or transmitting node. In another aspect, an amount of data buffered in a network is determined. A sustainable throughput of the network is also determined. A transmission rate is then determined based on the sustainable throughput and the amount of data buffered. An encoding parameter is then adjusted based on the transmission rate.
Abstract:
Techniques and systems are provided for performing predictive random access using a background picture. For example, a method of decoding video data includes obtaining an encoded video bitstream comprising a plurality of pictures. The plurality of pictures include a plurality of predictive random access pictures. A predictive random access picture is at least partially encoded using inter-prediction based on at least one background picture. The method further includes determining, for a time instance of the video bitstream, a predictive random access picture of the plurality of predictive random access pictures with a time stamp closest in time to the time instance. The method further includes determining a background picture associated with the predictive random access picture, and decoding at least a portion of the predictive random access picture using inter-prediction based on the background picture.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for performing near visually lossless video recompression. The disclosed techniques generate video frames having relatively small bitrates and relatively small file sizes while retaining approximately a same level of visually perceivable video quality as the originally recorded video frames. In general, recompression of a video frame takes an input video frame and produces a second copy of the video frame that has the same or lower Nitrate. The proposed techniques address the problem of recompressing a video frame with no perceivable loss in visual quality (i.e., visually lossless recompression) compared to the original recording of the video frame. In addition, the disclosed techniques provide one-step recompression of video frames that includes a single decoding and encoding of each video frame.
Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for achieve high coding efficiency by periodically encoding anchor frames with a lower Quantization Parameter (QP) to provide better prediction for the following frames. Techniques include adaptively deciding which frames are encoded with lower QP by use of the collected encoding statistics via an encoding scheme with or without rate control.
